Environmentalists criticize Bowdoin's plan for solar array


December 15, 2020 GMT
BRUNSWICK, Maine (AP) — Maine environmentalists have criticized Bowdoin College’s planned solar panel expansion at Brunswick Landing that could harm a coastal grassland.
The expansion will add an 18,000-panel solar array across 20 acres to the 2,150-panel array built in 2014 and be built on the Little Bluestem-Blueberry Sandplain Grassland, Bangor Daily News reported.
The site is one of four that were identified by the Maine Natural Areas Program to be “critically imperiled” due to its rarity.

According to the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, the low-lying grassy habitat is home to two species of “special concern,” the prairie warbler and eastern towhee. A third species of “special concern,” the black and white warbler, have been documented using the forest edges of the college’s 115-acre parcel at Brunswick Landing.
